More quotes by Bernard of Clairvaux

Bernard of Clairvaux
Slander is a poison which kills charity, both in the slanderer and the one who listens.
Bernard of Clairvaux

Bernard of Clairvaux

Bernard of Clairvaux

Your actions in passing, pass not away, for every good work is a grain of seed for eternal life.
Bernard of Clairvaux
It is a fault, not a virtue, to wish your humility recognized and applauded.
Bernard of Clairvaux
Love me, love my dog.
Bernard of Clairvaux
Vines and trees will teach you that which you will never learn from masters.

Bernard of Clairvaux
